Application iiled March l, 1905. Serial No. 247,861.

To @ZZ whom, t may cori/cern:

Be it known that I, HENRY F. VOGEL, a citizen ot' the United States,residing in the lcity el St. Louis, in the State el Missouri, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Oar-Seats, et' which theiollowingis a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, :Forming part of this specilicatien.

1o My invention relates to the combination, with the back et a car-seat,et' a corner-hand hold ande hand-rod mounted in said handhold andsupported above the seat-back, whereby either et' said members may begrasped by i 5 the hand of a passenger for support while standing in theaisle between the car-seats.

Figure I is a perspective view of one end of a ear-seat equipped with myimprovement. I? ig. II is an enlarged longitudinal section 2O takenthrough the upper corner oi' the carseat back and the handheld appliedthereto and showing the adjacent end ot' the hand-rod set into thehandheld.

A designates one oil the ends et' a car-seat 2 5 upon which is supportedthe seat-cushion B.

C is the seat-back, having' its upper' corner D inclined with respect toits end and top edges.

Fitted to the corner ot' the seatback is a handheld that consists of thefollowing portions: l is a grip portion that is :termed integral with aplate portion 2, that joins the grip portion at its lower end and isjoined to the upper end et' the grip portion by a web 3.

.at the lower end of the handheld and extending beyond the junction ofthe grip portion and plate portion is an arm il, and at the upper end elthe handheld and extending beyond the junction of the plate portion and40 web 3 is an arm 5. rlhe grip portion Il terminates in a socketextension 6, that extends inwardly over the seat-back. rlhe handheld issecured to the seat-back by screws l', which are inserted through theplate portion 2 and the arms d and 5 and into the seat-back.

8 designates a hand-rod that extends in alinement with the top et theseat-back and which is provided at its forward end witha tenen 9,

that enters into the socket extension (i et' the handheld, whereby it issupported at an ele- 5C vation above the top of the seat-back sullicientto permit et the passage et' the lingers et a persons hand between theseat-back and the hand-rod in order that said rod may be grasped. Theother end o'l'l the hand-rod is supported in 5 5 any suitable manner atthe iar end et the seatback.

I am aware that it is not new to utilize upon a car-seat back either ahandheld at the cerner et' the back er a hand-rod above the back, 6o andtherefore do not herein claim either of said parts, broadly considered;but, se Yfar as I am aware, these features have not been combined sothat the merits et both oiI them are secured upon a single seat-back. Bythe combining oil the coi-nonhandheld and the handrod suj'iporting meansfor the passengers are furnished that will accommodate the hands et' twoor more passengers, whereas in the instance of using either thecorner-haiulhold er 7C the hand-rod singly accommodation turnished forthe hand el'I a single passenger only.

I claim as my invention*- l. The combination with a car-seat back, of ahandheld secured to one of the upper cerners el? said seat-back andconsistingl oi a plate portion, arms extending 'from said plate portion,a grip portion united te said plate portion, a socket extension-armextending :from said grip portion; and a hand-rod litted to 8O saidsocket extension-arm, substantially as set .'liorth.

2. The combination with a car-seat back, ol a handheld secured to one etthe upper cor ners of said seat-back, and consisting ot a plate portion,arms extending from said plate pertien, a web extending from. said plateportion, a grip portion united to said plate portion in part by saidweb, an extension socket-arm projecting from the junction ot' said gripportion 90 and web; and a hand-rod litted to said extensien socket-arn1,substantially as set forth.
